Deel announces a new $300M+ funding round at a $17B+ valuation, co-led by Ribbit Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Coatue, reinforcing its market leadership.
The company achieved its first $100 million revenue month in September, demonstrating hyper-growth alongside sustained profitability for the past three years with a 15-17% EBITDA margin.
A core part of Deel's strategy is aggressive M&A, having completed 13 acquisitions to accelerate its roadmap, with plans for 5-10 more in the next two years.
Deel is heavily investing in proprietary technology, building its own internal tools like a knowledge base and an AI-powered ticketing system to own its infrastructure for long-term scalability.
